Workshop Description:
What would you create if you weren't afraid? Would you finish that book, painting, or album you've been working on? Would you host that event, publish your poetry, or set up that art show?
Whatever it is, if there was ever a time that the world needed to hear your voice, IT'S NOW. In this workshop, author and professor R. Alan Brooks teaches you strategies for overcoming creative fear. Come prepared to be honest and vulnerable, and expect to leave with practical ways to tackle your creative fears.
